Re: Questions That Don't Deserve Their Own Thread Mark II

I've been reading a lot of complaints about the Nami vs. Kalifa fight, saying Kalifa should have won.

I really don't get the meaning behind this; can someone explain to me why the fight was bad?

She was an assassin who had been trained for years, but she forgot all of that during the fight and only used her devil fruit.
I mean if she had used a little soru, maybe some shigan the fight would have ended right quick.

Wait, she barely used her Rokushiki?

SHE BARELY USED HER ROKUSHIKI WHAT THE HELL?

Okay I understand now.

...well, she is​ senile. Dammit, a broken glass!

As interested as I am in those things, I wouldn't be surprised if they remained a mystery. It's also not that easy to bring them up in the New World, assuming they are bound to the Florian Triangle. What I could, however, see as a possibility is someone somehow gaining control over them and bringing them to a possible war later in the story (if they can move that is). Or maybe, in the New World, there's a sea that, similar to the Florian Triangle, also features them. Great, now my interest in them has been sparked again

There WAS that huge monster that we will never know.

Are you talking about what looks like giants in the mist at end of Thriller Bark?
I am trying to find the page, think it's on Oda's facebook page, but someone asked oda about that, they found some pitcures of natural phenomena that looks like that and posted it. I think it had something to do how the fog refracted light and shadows, and makes a mirage of giant proportions. They asked Oda if that what it was and he indicated yes.

... I'm still looking for that! dang could have sworn I saved that page... but that would be useless if its one of those pages that that continuely chages with updates, dang!

They were probably referring to a fata morgana. Oda had already done something a bit like this once before, when the shadows of the Shandians were made to appear like giants. Anyway, even if that is the case, I still think there was a physical... SOMETHING that was distorted by the fog. Can anyone tell me what the sound effects on this page are?

Re: Questions That Don't Deserve Their Own Thread Mark II

In the top panel, ゴゴゴゴ ('gogogogo') is used to set a menacing/threatening atmosphere. I assume the ゴゴオオ ('gogooo') sound in the middle panel to be just an elongated version of this (but I'm not entirely sure if it hasn't got another meaning). Also in the top panel, around Thriller Bark, the がや ('gaya') sound describes an excited crowd. At the bottom, ぽかぽか ('poka poka') is the warmth of the sunrays.

How do you think Zoro would have fared if he instead had to go to Amazon Lily for 2 years? He's probably immune to Hancock's powers

He'd turn into Asura again if they tried to put a frilly outfit on him like they did Luffy.

But Zoro's as man as you can get, he's not as ambiguous about it as Luffy is (he wouldn't be able to get away with being a "flat-chested girl"). He wouldn't be able to get any type of training really, though he'd be able to learn Haki from them if he was able to pass off as a woman. He'd probably yell at them a lot for being sexists, and he'd end up on their bad side. This would result in him dying by excessive Snoo Snoo.

He's never even paid attention to women, unless they were fighters, in which case he wanted to fight them, not bone them. He's never once nosebled, and he's never geeked out over one of Franky's machines.

Zoro's a very honorable man. It's that that keeps him from having lustful thoughts. I can imagine a fight between Hancock and Zoro were Zoro is suppressing the thoughts; like what Momonga did. Momonga's honorable, but he's still a man.

Luffy's just...Luffy. Though it still puzzles me to this day why he got affected by Nami's Happiness Punch. Maybe's he's manhood is in there somewhere, he did also panic when he dropped in the bath tub exclaiming he didn't see Hancock's naked body.

And Sanji has never geeked out over Franky's gadgets either.

Re: Questions That Don't Deserve Their Own Thread Mark II

Luffy panicked because he thought he recognized Hancock's Hoofprint of the Celestial Dragons as being related to Arlong's crew.

Zoro always seemed asexual to me; being a "man" has nothing to do with it. Oda just won't write that kind of story unless it's for laughs like with Hancock and Luffy.

Likewise, Smoker fought Hancock in the war and seemed not to care at all about her. And when he unbuttoned Tashigi's shirt (and apparently ripped off her bra according to the SBS ), he didn't visibly react either. It just seems like a common thing in the OP world for people, male or female, to not care about that sort of thing.
